Lay Roo - Climbing lyrics

[Verse: 1] On the pursuit of happiness Sipping and chocking on cannabis Dreams but low self-esteem got in the way of it happening Stuttering while practicing Mommy was handicapping and Little brother in college and Daddy was getting cancer and Other brother doing sh** we shouldn't be discussing and No, stranger to struggling Young, coloured and hustling From bottom I started this Dream I beam on the mothership Fake friends I just stopped f**ing with My ex packed up her sh** I'm on a new covenant Debt collectors coming for my exposure money and Self-conscious and honest and Dream seekers anonymous Tired of'em b**hing about how they ain't be profiting Haters were f**ing loving it Thinking that I was suffering But after some flushing and On mission Impossible New sk**s I was polishing Now I'm hater intolerant Rose from the ashes Cause I ain't living anonymous Shortened my circumference Embrace the power in knowledge Master never gave us books so we don't accomplish sh** So we don't accomplish sh** Master never gave us books so we don't accomplish sh** [Hook] I'm on some other sh** I don't do astronomy I create my own prophecies Mind over this poverty Sick of the hypocrisies Rapping without apologies I'm just climbing back to the top I'm just climbing back to the top [Verse: 2] I was nine to fiving and Saving up for this music and Shaking and Baking 3 AM They was never believing Just too coloured and ignorant Too feeling like we ain't sh** Too stuck in their ways just like the apartheid governing Too legit to be quitting and Treating me like an immigrant Cause I was dream chasing on roads nobody was travelling But back packing immaculate Cape Flatsing I'm macking'em Too broke but pa**ionate My heart would navigate Banished from most establishments Slavery I ain't having it Middle finger to master and now I'm freer than half of'em In the Presence of Legends and Got radio numbers and Doing all of this modelling and Celebrating the positives Chubby geek turned confident Overcoming my Obstacles Consciously doing opposites I ain't fearing the consequence Foreign womens is giggling Feeling super significant Mama hearing “Girl your son is back on the air again” But mama I ain't make it yet Makin', making a difference They arresting my dreams before I declare my innocence Find me a girl to accomplish with Before I die, my dreams are coming true, mama I promise this! [Hook] I'm on some other sh** I don't do astronomy I create my own prophecies Mind over this poverty Sick of the hypocrisies Rapping without apologies I'm just climbing back to the top I'm just climbing back to the top
